This journal page reflects the influence of the Journal 52 prompt and really fun  art journaling video, my work on the sets at our theater, and my time in the swimming pool at our local YMCA. I participate in aquacize classes and swim 5 laps once a week when I can. I am grateful for the activities that I am able to participate in that help keep me healthy. The lights reflecting off the water last Saturday were really beautiful in my super blurry vision. I am so happy with the heart stencil that I made. It needs to be remade on something a lot more substantial, but the shape makes me happy. The word Peace came from my yoga class this morning. It just seemed like the perfect way to complete this page layout. May you be peaceful.

The Journal 52 prompt for this week is “The Heart Knows.” I frequently use different papers to represent people and events that I am grateful for and this journal entry is no exception. The music paper if from my Dad’s old hymnal I use that and the old fashioned magazine illustrations (in the heart in the lower right hand corner) to represent time with my Mom. My Dad died almost 20 years ago and my Mom’s health isn’t great. We had a really lovely day together the other day so here she is in my hearts. The red shoe is always Shannon and we had fun together another day. So many wonderful people in my life. Who are you grateful for today?

Here is my Valentine’s Day Zentangle for the Diva’s Challenge. I am also including a tangle I created that represents heart opening from meditation and yoga. I call it “hopening.” Here are the steps.

See lots of tangled love at the Diva’s blog.
